Default New printed Chindie..!

Hi Chaps,

Couldn't resist sharing my new Chindit patch with you all, especially as it's an exceptionally rare 'printed' example, the first one I have been able to acquire thus far. I have just poped it in my album and also added it to the album on my website if anyone is interested, links below:

Hope you everyone is having a great holiday and not too stuffed, all the best, Roy.

Thanks JB,

It's taken me a while to find a printed version. Cost me an arm and a leg but a stunning little patch.

All the best, Roy.

Thanks chaps,

Appreciate the good wishes and support.

JDR, what can I say old chap, it was a close call. I seem to remember it only came in a few pounds under my maximun. Good luck next time my friend, hope your not too mad at me..

Very best, Roy.

Thanks Clive,

Yes a patch not often encountered, so I was really pleased to get this one.

Christmas is going well (been enjoying shooting my new vintage Webley air rifle ), but have a family member flying in soon, so it's 'Second Christmas' next week, just when my belly was going down too.

All the best, Roy.
